The following comments and recommendations were submitted: Community Investment and Engineering Department stated, per IC 36-7-3-13, the vacation would make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient and would hinder the use of a public right of way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. Community Investment stated also the vacation would hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public building or place. Therefore, the Board of Public Works submitted an unfavorable recommendation for the vacation of this alley. Please contact Permit Department at (574) 235-9254 prior to picking up -your radius man. You will need a radius map showing properties within 150' of the proposed vacation for your petition to the Common Council. Once you pick up the radius map, proceed to the City Clerk's office for your alley vacation packet. Sincerely, Lin a M. Martin, Clerk \ GARY A. GILOT ELIZABETH A. MARADIK THERESE J. DORAU JORDAN V.
